St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-06-19

race resulted in grand fiasco. The
horses got the flag at the second attempt,
but shout of dismay went up when it
was seen that Ben Ali and Quito
were left at the post. Eurus
was first away, followed by ORR
famine, Richmond and Ten Booker,
as named. Earus at once opened gap
of two lengths and with Richmond see
ond and Grimaldi third made the rum
ming, the others strung out. Nearing
the half Grimaldi got his neck in front
and Richmond began to fall back.
EuruS increased his lead the further he
went and turning into the stretch was
five lengths in advance with Grimaldi
second. In the stretch Oritlamme and
Wickham wound up. They could not
reach EuruS, however, who won in a
canter by six lengths, Oritiamme sec
Ond, a neck in front of Wickham, Girl
maldi fourth. Time PIP. Mutuals paid
$3.50 straight and S75 for place.
A MAGNIFICENT FLORAL HORSESHOE
was presented to the winner. AT the
very lowest estimate $500, 200 must have
been bet on the track and over 81, 100000
depended on the winner. The book
makers had not enough help and they
could not take the money III fast enough.
Richmond was tremendous favOrite.
His trainer said before the race he did
not see how he could lose. Quito, how
ever, had such powerful following
that he crowded him close in the mar
ket. Grenada, who has great reputa-
ton as a good performer in the mud,
was the pick of the track talent. Rupert
was well supported and the Higgins
are said to have had $4,000 on Ben Ali.
There was a great hubbub over the fact
that Quito and Ben Ali were
LEFT AT THE POST.
The HagginS and Congressman Scott
were so indignant that they said they
wouldn't start any more. horses at
Sheepshead Bay if Caldwell, as starter.
wasn't removed. Then there were wild
charges that Caldwell had been bribed
by the bookmakerS, who stood to lose
braVely on both horses to leave them;
that the executive committee would
hold meeting and rule him off forever.
Mr.. Caldwell protested that it was not
done Intentionally and that the leaving
of the horses was an accident. Harri-
son and Mclaughlin, the jockeys, said
that their horses would not move foot.
This is probably the case, as Ben
Ali was left in the same man
ner twice this week. The executive
committee will take no action.
The value of the race to the winner is
estimated at about $4,000. Considering
the heavineSs of the course the time was
very good for Il mile and a quarter.
The number of people OH the track is es-
timated at 25,0G0. The Suburban. which
which takes its name from the the fa-
nous English race, the City and
Suburban, was first run in 1884 when
with twenty starters it was won by Gen.
Monroe in 2:11%, with 124 pounds up.
In 1885 Prentice won it in 2:091@ with
102 pounds on, from field of fifteen.
Last year Troubadour, carrying 115
pounds Oh heavy track, won in 2:124
